I have a recollection of some long threads about some companies discontinuing gaming content and members of Lemmy having strong feelings and evidence about all this. I have been trying to search these older threads up but I can’t find them. Does anyone remember these conversations? What companies were involved? Games? How much data was basically disappeared?

Really important work! Thank you. The EU is good had holding the vultures accountable but USA continues to let them thrive.
It was mainly around Ubisoft’s The Crew as the latest conversation. This was about a month ago.
Ubisoft took the game offline and also removed from customers’ digital libraries with a message suggesting they try the newer installments in the series instead of the game they paid for.
Thank you! So many people do not realize that this is coming to everyone who invests in digital games like this.

Digital media of any sort, really.
